Sir:
Can you tell me whether James Hack who fought in the Revolutionary War enlisting in Penn- sylvania and made application for a pension in 1834, under act of Congress passed 1832, and died in 1841 received a pension?

Also when granted and how much he received?
I also want to know what was the record of John Woodend during the war of 1812. Think he applied in 1871 for a pension (invalid) under act of Congress passed in 1871. He served with the Pennsylvania troops and died in 1875.
Thanking you in advance for any information you can give me of these men
I remain
Your friend T. E. Woodend, Saltsburg, Ind. Co., Pa.
